Kangxi looked at this scene and frowned even deeper.

Now he finally understood why the two jailers carried Longkodo out like that.

The Tianlao Prison was a strictly restricted place, and was heavily guarded by soldiers and officers. No matter how much Longkodo struggled, it was all in vain.

He had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by the crowd.

Two imperial guards also quickly came over, each grabbed one of Longkodo's arms, and escorted him to the execution platform.

Longkodo struggled in vain and turned his head to look around, hoping to see anyone from the Tong family in the execution ground.

Until a black musket was pointed at his forehead.

Longkodo finally stopped struggling.

He still couldn't believe it. He was the third master of the Tong family, the younger brother and the emperor's cousin, yet he was abandoned by everyone so easily?

Where is his father?

Where is my mother?

How could they not save him?

——

"Bang!"

Kangxi withdrew his gaze and left the place with his guards.

Longkodo was his cousin after all, and he wanted to give Longkodo a decent death, but he hated poisoned wine, so after much thought, he came up with the idea of ​​using a musket.

At least there is a complete corpse...

Half an hour after Longkodo's death, the Tong family went to the execution ground to collect Longkodo's body.

According to the rules, a sinner cannot enter the Tong family's ancestral tomb.

But Kangxi did not pursue this point and allowed Long Kodo to be buried according to the specifications of the Tong family's direct line.

That's why the scene of the Tong family going to the execution ground to collect the bodies occurred.

There was an uproar throughout the capital.

Even though everyone agreed a few days ago that Longkodo was dead this time, when they actually received the news of Longkodo's death, they still found it unbelievable.

That arrogant and domineering Mr. Tong San died so easily?

Why does it sound so unreal?!

Although Longkodo was buried according to the standards of a direct descendant of the Tong family, there was no way to arrange a grand funeral for him.

Otherwise, it would be hitting Kangxi's sore spot.

Tong Guowei is a smart man. His son's death is a foregone conclusion. The most important thing now is how to use this incident to make Kangxi compensate the living, rather than doing some insignificant things to increase his resentment towards the Tong family.

So Longkodo was buried hastily.

Only Longkodo's mother and wife cried all day long and were truly sad about Longkodo's death. The rest of the people were all plotting what to do to benefit themselves more.

The Tong family's actions did make Kangxi feel a little guilty.

After Longkodo was buried, it was already the twelfth lunar month.

Taking advantage of the New Year holiday, Kangxi rewarded the Tong family with many things, and even instructed the Ministry of Personnel to give excellent evaluations to Tong Guowei's sons who were serving as officials in the court.

In addition to the Tong family, Kangxi also promoted Yinzhi's title from Beile to Prince.

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later.

After the Chinese New Year, Yinsi's marriage was also put on the agenda.

As early as the 31st year, Kangxi had arranged a marriage for Yinsi.

Yinsi's wife was Guo Luoluo, the granddaughter of Prince An Yuele.

When Yinsi was conferred a title two years ago, his title was also given to the Zhenglan Banner.

The purpose was to bring all the power of the Zhenglan Banner into the hands of the royal family.

The status of Prince An's Mansion in the Zhenglan Banner was so special that Kangxi had started planning it long ago.

The threats posed by the other banners are not as serious as those posed by the Zhenglan Banner.

In order to show his importance to Prince An's Mansion, when Kangxi ordered the Ministry of Rites to organize Yinsi's wedding, he directly set the venue at Prince An's Mansion.

In the court, the Prince An's family was ecstatic, and everyone looked at Yinsi as if they were looking at a delicious cake.

The expressions of the others were even more interesting.

The prince got married, but the wedding was held at the bride's home.

What's the difference between this and marrying into the wife's family?

Even when the prince consort married the princess, the wedding was held at the prince consort's house.

Is it possible that a prince is not even as good as the son of a Mongolian prince?

At this time, the New Year had just passed and the princes were still in the capital and had not had time to return to their posts.

After hearing Kangxi's words, everyone's eyes fell on Yinsi.

Yinreng was no longer surprised.

After all, he had experienced it in his previous life.

But others were not so receptive.

The most unbelievable among them is the ninth prince Yinzhen.

Although his mother, Concubine Yi, had the same surname as Guo Luoluo, they were actually not related by blood.

The status of Prince An's Mansion in the royal family is indeed transcendent, otherwise before the death of Emperor Mafa, he would not have proposed that Yue Le inherit the throne.

It was a great thing for Bage to have such a good in-law family, and Yinzhen was very happy for Bage.

But now, his mood is not so good.

What does the Emperor mean by this?

Does he want Bage to marry into Prince An's family?

Yinsi felt only humiliation at this moment.

He had come into contact with Guo Luoluo several times and knew that she was a bright and charming woman.

He felt that the fact that the Emperor could give him a woman like Guo Luoluo, who had a strong family background, as his wife showed how much the Emperor valued him.

However, in the end, the emperor gave him such a loud slap in the face.

The prince marries into the wife's family...

Ha ha!

He truly set a precedent in history!

Yinreng glanced back at Yinsi's expression, his heart was mixed.

"If you want Yinsi to seize power in the Zhenglan Banner, I should tell him directly, otherwise I will embarrass Old Eight..."

Kangxi glanced at the expressions of the people below and his eyebrows twitched.

But he said nothing.

He is the emperor and Yinsi's father. Does he have to consider his son's mood when doing anything he wants?

After the court session, Yinzhi turned around and looked at Yinsi, wanting to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, so he just reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Yinzhen called out worriedly,

"Myna..."

Yinsi raised his head and glanced at the brothers next to him. He found that everyone's attention was on him. He pulled the corner of his lips and said softly,

"I'm fine."

Yinzhen felt even worse, and when he was about to say something, Yinreng spoke up.

"If you don't leave now, the ministers will have their eyes glued to you!"

After hearing this, everyone dispersed in groups of three or four.

Yinzhen leaned towards Yinreng.

"Second brother..."

He returned to Beijing late before the New Year and had not had the chance to talk to his second brother yet.

Yinreng brought him back to Yuqing Palace.

The two brothers were having breakfast and chatting.

"Second brother, why did the Emperor ask Prince An's Mansion to sponsor Eighth Brother's wedding today?"

"The power of Prince An's Mansion is too great. It not only affects the Zhenglan Banner, but also serves as a hub for communication between Manchu and Han scholars. If it is not restricted, the scene before the Emperor Mafa's death is likely to be repeated..."
